Christmas Haul!

Hi guys! I hope you all had a fabulous day yesterday, even if you don’t celebrate Christmas! ❤

I thought it would be fun to share what I got for Christmas with you all! I didn’t get many books, so I figured I’d do an overall haul to lengthen the post. 😉

So I’m going to stop rambling now. Let’s get into it!

This will be in two categories: bookish and non-bookish. 🙂

non-bookish

Vanilla Bean Noel products from Bath and Body Works – I’m not sure if B&BW is international or not, but for those of you who don’t know, it’s a store that sells perfumes, lotions, hand sanitizers, and similar things in fun scents. I got a perfume, lotion, and shower gel (body wash 😉 ) in Vanilla Bean Noel, which is my absolute favorite holiday scent they have. 😀

Bea Miller Not An Apology CD – I recently discovered Bea’s music and I love it, so I had to have her CD! Not An Apology has amazing songs, and it’s doubly impressive because it’s her debut album. 😀

The Mortal Instruments angelic power rune necklace – This wasn’t actually on my wish-list, but my mom saw it and got it because she knew I wanted one. I’m not going to complain! XD I wore it all day yesterday and have worn it all of today so far too.

cute beanie – I got my first beanie about a month ago and I fell in love with it, so I was pleasantly surprised and super happy to get a second one! My new one is white and shimmery with two pink pom-poms on top. Again, it wasn’t on my wish-list, but I don’t care. XD And again, I wore it all day yesterday and have worn it all day today so far as well.

flower crown – My sister made me a gorgeous purple, pink, and white flower crown. It wasn’t on my list, but I look forward to spring and summer so I can wear it. She’s really talented! 😀 For the record, I love flower crowns for spring and summer, and beanies for autumn and winter. 😉

selfie stick – I love taking selfies even though I’m not good at it. I asked for one of these because they seem cool and I thought it would help me take better selfies. XD Don’t judge.

Bing Bong Funko pop – Prior to yesterday I only owned one Funko (Jack Skellington, from Disney’s Nightmare Before Christmas). But they look awesome on my shelf and they’re cute so I asked for more. XD I got one of Bing Bong from Disney’s Inside Out, which is probably my current favorite Disney movie. Now I have two and I’m thrilled! 😀

Christmas M&M’s – I’m addicted to M&M’s; they’re one of my favorite chocolates. I got a big bag in my stocking and have used considerable self-restraint to still have 95% of the bag left. XD

bookish

a new bookshelf – Before, my shelf was brown and had three shelves, and was full of books. Now it’s black and has five shelves, and only three and a half have been used. The fourth has my library books though, so technically that’s only temporary. 😉 It’s not as pretty as other peoples’ but I’m in love with it and that’s what’s important. You can find pictures on my Instagram (link on sidebar).

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey – I got the movie paperback edition from my sister, along with the flower crown. While I prefer original covers over movie covers, I’m thrilled to finally have this book nonetheless. I’ll be starting this immediately after I finish my library books, which will be just in time for the movie! 😀

a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble – My mom got me this because she didn’t know where to start when I sent her my TBR. XD I can’t blame her; it’s 260 books after all (258 technically, because I used it already haha). I used it to buy two copies of Redwall by Brian Jacques and a copy of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. I got the former so I can buddy-read it with my sister, and the latter because I want to own more contemporary books (after that I’m up to 6 XD ).

So that’s everything I got for Christmas this year! It may not seem like much, but I love what I got and I had a great day with my family. That’s what really matters. 😉

What did you get for Christmas? Feel free to tell me a few of your favorite presents in the comments! 🙂

What a great Christmas haul! New shelves are just the best. I absolutely love the 5th Wave, so I hope you do too! I personally prefer gift cards over books, so then I can choose which books to purchase. Enjoy all your new stuff!

I was really happy with it all! I love new shelves too. 😀 I hope I love The 5th Wave as much as everyone else does. 🙂 I love getting books and gift cards equally. With books I can be surprised but with gift cards I can choose my own books. Both are great! 😉 I hope you enjoy your presents as well!

Haha I wanna read The 5th Wave so much! It physically pains me! I was gonna get it for Christmas but my friend said she would loan it to me… The only problem is that she takes like a month to finish a book. The suspense… I. Can’t. Even. Xx
